The Best and The Worst Airlines I've Flown With

This is a review of the airlines I've flown with and the review is based on my personal experience. I love traveling, but I can't afford flying with 5-star airlines every time I travel. I travel on economy class or on budget airlines. I loved some airlines, some were neutral and I really disliked others.

The Best Airlines:

1- Korean Air: yes it's expensive but it totally worth the money. Even the economy class has good sized seats, the food is good and the service is outstanding.

2- Egypt Air: I swear I'm not saying that because I'm an Egyptian. The gate agent in Cairo International Airport wasn't good at all, and he had no clue what he was doing. However, on the flight from Egypt to Japan where I had a layover I had the best flying experience ever. I had a little cold and the flight attendant kept checking on me and made me tea without me even asking. The food was simply delicious.

The Neutral Airlines:

1- Fin Air: we flew on Fin Air from Korea to Europe. Everything on the fight was average. Average seats, average food and average service.

2- Asiana Airlines: in few words, nothing special.

3- Japan Air: Average.

4- Malaysia Air: it was a domestic flight for an hour. It was fine and they served a sandwich. Most airlines don't serve a snack on short flights.

5- Thai Airways: it was a domestic flight, it was average.

6- Alitalia Air: flying in the EU is considered domestic. We flew from Rome to Athens. The flight itself was okay, the service wasn't.

7- Peach Airlines: It was good for a budget airline. The seats were a good size. However, the take off was delayed twice and we only saw the flight attendants when they tried to sell us things from the air shop. Of course they don't serve you anything, not even water, just like any budget airline.

The Worst Airlines:

1- Qatar Airlines: I have a mixed feelings about this one, it wasn't as bad as other experiences, but for sure it wasn't a good experience. The gate agents were terrible in Cairo International Airport, not once but twice. They're so unprofessional. They didn't know what they were doing. The first time I flew with them the gate agent was horrible. That was before I moved to Korea, and even though Egyptians can go to Korea with no visa and I already had two Korean visas in my passport from previous visits, he wouldn't let me go through till I showed him that I had more than 500$ in cash with me. But, I thought it must be just that guy. The second time I flew with them, they gave me hell. I'm a resident of S.Korea. I have an alien card, which is written in Korean. Last year I visited Egypt and I flew on Qatar Airlines. At the gate I showed them my alien card, but none of the agents could speak Korean and they actually harassed me about it for like an hour. They asked me why my Korean alien card was written in Korean, which was a ridiculous question. The service was okay and the food was above average but not delicious.

2- China Eastern Airlines: I flew on China Eastern twice because they had inexpensive tickets. However, it isn't worth it. On both round trips the flights were delayed for over an hour. On the first flight with them, I booked my ticket to Shanghai online and asked for a Muslim meal. On the flight itself they served me pork. The service was very bad. Also, they broke my small suitcase. They did replace it with a new one, but I have no idea how they broke it.

3- Air Asia: it's a budget airline and everyone I know who has ever flown with them have this love-hate relationship with them. The flights are cheap, but once you click on a flight, they start giving you all of the hidden extras and taxes. The flights are bad, the seats are very small, the service is poor, and yes you have to buy water if you're thirsty.

4- American Airlines: everything was below average.

5- Delta Air: this is definitely the worst airline ever. We flew from L.A to Las Vegas. I've never seen or met flight attendants that rude. They look at you in the eye and totally ignore you as if you aren't there. They f**ked up our reservations, they didn't fix them, and the flight itself it was a nightmare.
